Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Pond plant source?

I just buy cheap burlap in a roll at a big box store like this but an old burlap onion sack cut up should work great. You just don't want a tight weave burlap.

I cut the right size piece for the plant and then put some pond bottom soil on it and plant the plant. I then pull up the corners of the burlap around the "stem" of the plant and tie it with jute twine. Toss it in the pond where you want it and in a few months after the plant is established the burlap and the twine degrade. For lilies, I drop the pouch in shallow water until leaves come to the top (a week or two) and then take a pole and push the pouch to deeper water.
